Thanks for encouragement on the shot!!!. I hate reposting same bird, at least so soon but couldn't help it because his colors were so intense this day. They are my front yard wildlife.
Thanks Steven. He is absolutely beauglyful!!!!!!
wow, good catch! I'll need to keep a closer eye on them if they start stalking me!
Thanks for checking him out in all his glory!
Thanks Woody. I actually despise them (outside of photographing them) as they are quite the nuisance around the house clawing at bark in planter beds and big turkey plops around water fountain but sometimes their shows make up for it....nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Dang, sound a lot like the geese here in the winter, messing up all the high school tracks and golf courses.
They are worse than geese cause they are at my house! Fortuitous post, I was just outside complaining to the misses that the damn turkey pooped in the fountain again....and they are not small, size of a AA egg. Currently around 20 or so cruising the property daily. I need the mountain lion to switch to white meat from red for awhile!
I haven't seen coyotes of late. I have around 3, fox was thru about a week ago and we have had 3 deer kills as close as 300yards or less from house. They come in daily for seed from bird feeder, may have to cut off all the birds for awhile. Nobody here hunts these either. I see these hunting shows boasting about careful stealth camo, turkey calls, blinds to get these wily birds... I said all you need is a lawn chair , fountain and a big rock!
Also since you said retired marine, maybe of interest is this bird which has been flying over past 2 weekends. Somebody restored locally.
